In the heart of the Turkish music scene, a new pearl has revealed itself, filling the dark horizon of dark wave with fresh energy. Ductape, a band that was previously only known to insiders, breaks out of the shadows with their latest work "Closer" and presents a piece that not only captivates connoisseurs of the scene, but also newcomers. The song is part of the album "Echo Drama".
"Closer" is a remarkable example of the fact that the Turkish dark wave scene has more to offer than the already established greats such as "She Past Away". Ductape succeeds in building a bridge between the nostalgic sound of the 80s with typical elements such as clapping hand sounds and the modern interpretation of the genre. With elements reminiscent of the legendary "The Cure", particularly through the use of similar guitar sounds, the song transports an atmosphere that is both familiar and refreshingly new.
The mood of the song is infused with a serious, dark aura that does not, however, have an oppressive effect. Rather, "Closer" manages to develop a certain energy that captivates the listener and takes them into a world that is both melancholic and revitalising. The female vocals blend seamlessly into the musical fabric, giving the song an added depth that perfectly complements the emotional landscape of the track.

Lyrics of "Ductape – Closer"
Blackened sky and the crows
In your eyes I’ve seen them all
You and I, we have to die
Feel my cold hands come closer to me
Closer to death
Ease the pain
Embrace the end
Unchain your sad soul
Come closer to me
Closer to death
Let me call on tasteful sorrows
Set us free and take me close to the end
Let me call on tasteful sorrows
Set us free and keep me close to the end
To the end
